NEW 2018 MODELS

While Solar Bear houses all the same high performance insulation as our Nylon Soft Coolers, the exterior shell has an innovative UV-Protectant PU coating (the same coating can be found on our Eclipse coolers). This coating keeps the exterior of the cooler from getting hot in the sun. If you are expecting prolonged sun exposure, the Solar Bear is your cooler!

Description

The Polar Bear Solar Bear Series features a 1000 denier luggage-grade nylon outer shell, with a UV-Resistant PU Coating. It Looks great on the outside but it's what's on the inside that really counts. The Solar Bear houses the thickest and highest density insulation in it's class. It's going to keep you cool on the hottest days.

In the world of Soft Coolers, you are only as good as your interior liner. All Polar Bear Coolers are made with the strongest, safest and most durable liner ever built into a soft cooler. Our proprietary liner is created with antimicrobial FDA-Approved materials, and is guaranteed leakproof for life. If it's not TPU Double-Coated Nylon, then it's NOT a Polar Bear!

The Polar Bear Solar Bear series is heavy duty and durable! It's made for everyday use. The Polar Bear soft cooler will keep hot or cold and can be customized with your name or logo. Quality that lives up to its name! Superior craftsmanship and performance, it keeps ice for at least 24 hours in 100 plus degree heat. Ideal for boating activities, tailgating, camping, sporting events, the golf course, or just sitting around the camp fire with friends. Nothing keeps cool like a Polar Bear!

• Pack your cooler with as much ice as possible. Air inside the cooler will cause ice to melt more rapidly. Use a 3 to 1 ice to product ratio.
• Make sure the items you pack in your cooler are cold from the start.
• Make sure you use the side buckles when your cooler is not open. Using the buckles creates a seal in the insulation and will ensure your goods stay cold for as long as possible.
• When possible, keep the ice in a bag together on top of the products in the cooler. Cold air descends, loose ice melts faster.
• When you first put ice in your cooler, the cooler will cool from room temp and join the temp of the ice. This means the ice is working extra hard in the beginning. If you are traveling and refilling your cooler as you go, you can expect better results the next time you add ice. The Polar Bear cooler is designed to get cold and stay cold. Once it’s cold, it will keep colder longer.
• Limit air exposure (opening and closing) your cooler when possible.

This cooler is well built. Light and comfortable to carry. It has some ice in it the next day. It's a really good size. This is my 3rd polar bear after a friend introduced me to his backpack cooler for baseball tournaments. Love them all.

We bought the 24 pack Solar Bear for the beach and it was great. Good size for drinks and sandwiches. Sat in the sun and heat all afternoon and kept ice very well. We didn’t put enough ice in to keep it for 5 days, and had the cooler opened repeatedly, and it did just what we wanted. Love it.

Just purchased this cooler to use on our boat on the weekend. Hands down the best cooler I have ever owned. I have a couple of hard coolers but they are big and bulky and a pain to carry to the boat. this cooler carries everything we need plus room for so much more. Easy to carry , looks great and keeps everything cold. Used it for 2 days straight and almost no ice lost! Amazing!

Great product. Use it as a carry on for air travel and then as a cooler when I arrive at my destination. Bought three more as gifts for my adult daughters.

Purchased as a Father's Day gift (per the request of my hubby) and he was pleasantly surprised and happy with the item. We'll see how it holds up at our upcoming beach trip. I would've liked to have seen a sample embroidery image though. I didn't want to purchase that add-on without seeing what it would've looked like, and where the embroidery would have been placed. I am doing this separately at a local store.

Holds Ice Like a Champ! Even at the Beach!

I live in a world of Yeti and RTIC cooler fans so when I brought this to the Florida panhandle for a week, I got a couple sneers. People couldn't believe I would bring something that collapses to fit in my suitcase to the beach where image is everything. Why on earth would you bring something so convenient and moderately priced?!? This true 'soft-sided' cooler won over plenty of fans who paid double or triple for a cooler that had no give to it despite being a soft-sided cooler. I used two ice packs to keep my Yuengling beer cold in the hot Florida sun. The ice packs even kept my beer cold overnight when I forgot to refreeze and empty my cooler for the day. Nothing like a cold beer and doughnuts on the beach!! If you need a cooler for a day-trip to the beach, pool, etc, this is your cooler. It keeps stuff cold...real cold. I wouldn't use this on a weekend camping trip, but it gets the job done for 36+ hours. And if it takes you more than 36 hours to drink your beer, the cooler is not your problem...it's you. I mean, you could totally spend $200+ on a 'soft-sided' cooler and then be out of beer money. It's your call. My liver knows which choice I made!!!

We used the coolers this weekend to visit the Texas Hill Country for a wine tour. The coolers preformed better than expected keeping the contents cool and even kept an unintentional spill in the content of the cooler. The new liner used is an improvement over the one used on our old coolers purchased in 2013.

Location: Arvada, Co and Redding CA

I thought that I ordered dark green. I received a grey color that I don't see on the 24 pack color selection. I logged into my account to verify my color selection color. There is no order history. I have ordered in the past including this current order. My email order doesn't show the color selection. The Polar Coolers are awesome.

Great soft cooler. Handles the stated quantity of cans of beverages and leaves enough room for some ice/ice packs.
Recent addition of what looks to be a water proof zipper on the small outer pocket is a nice touch, but not sure if this is necessary. Also curious why there were two hangers poked through this possibly water proof zipper to hang a product display tag (reason for only 4 stars, as this seems to defeat the purpose if it truly is a waterproof zipper).

Anymore these days I find myself attracted to and appreciative of things that are well made; things for which care was taken in their design and manufacturing. The Nylon Solar Bear 24 Pack is such an item. That it performs extremely well is no surprise. I like this cooler so much that I plan to give several as gifts this Christmas. Highly recommended.
